Just dropping in to say thank you! I'm 30 and about to start college for the first time. I've been out of school for 13 years and used your videos to relearn as much as I possibly could before taking the Accuplacer exam. I took my exam yesterday and scored high enough to not need any remedial classes! I definitely could not have done that without this channel. Thank you so much!

I’ve never in my life had any teacher explain math so simple as you do.
I was absent for 2 months in school since i had a serious injury. The teacher said they wouldn't help me learn the things i missed on so im self studying myself. I have a huge test next week so thanks to this video i finally learned simplifying expressions! Might or might not forget it due to my ADHD 🤷♀️

I would never attempt a problem like one of these.... after this video i feel very comfortable doing so now. Taking my TEAS Exam to become a nurse so all of this helps tremendously.
Thank you Mr.J !!! You helped me pass my GED. Couldnt have done it without yah.

Thank you for taking the time to upload this. I toke an online course with a teacher and read the book and both of them didn't explain it well like you did.
I am 19 year old student in Singapore and it's been a long time since I did math equations. I want to refresh memory on math and I managed to solve almost all of the the algebraic expressions right thanks to your tutorial. Will definitely watch more of your videos :)
MR J IS better than my teacher all she dose is read the questions again you really helped thank you 🤙🏻🤙🏻👏🏻👏🏻✍🏻✍🏻
Thank you for this lesson on distributing algebraic expressions. Your tutorial was helpful. I have not had math in years and I will be taking a statistics class this fall to finish up my bachelor's degree. In preparation, I have been reviewing and doing algebra problems.

This was so helpful. I’m at a very underfunded private school and we don’t have a proper math teacher, so basically the person teaching us math doesn’t have a degree in teaching. So I came across this while attempting to teach myself how to do math and this helped so much! Thank you!
